Black Swan

Natalie Portman was amazing in this complicated picture about a sweet, hardworking ballerina who is striving for the lead role in Swan Lake but whose director is not quite sure she can handle the role of the "black swan". She must find a way to reach a completely different side of herself to achieve the role, but without losing herself in the process. An intriguing movie, with a few controversial scenes that make this a movie for a more mature audience.

Dreamgirls

Is being famous really all it is cracked up to be? That is the question that this musical focus' on. The "Dreamettes" finally get the opportunity to make their dreams come true, and in doing so tear the group apart. This was such an outstanding musical that will be tough to beat. Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy were sensational! I highly recommend watching this!
